Dachshund (Detailed Introduction)

After Dachshunds enter our lives, a new responsibility of caring for them falls on our shoulders. To let the dog grow healthier, we should properly adjust the feeding method. The editor will introduce this to you below!

1. Newly bought puppy Dachshunds should not be bathed for at least a week. They need vaccination 15 days later, and before completing immunization, do not let the Dachshund contact its companions.

2. It is recommended to feed puppy Dachshund dog food that can meet the nutritional needs of Dachshunds’ growth. When feeding, it can be soaked with warm water, feeding to about 80% full each time. The specific amount of food should be based on the Dachshund’s body size.

3. Never give Dachshunds milk, chocolate, onions, overly sweet, salty, spicy, or cold food. Ice cream is certainly not allowed. Bones should not be fed; feed liver and seafood sparingly.

4. Train Dachshunds to develop good habits from an early age. If bad habits occur, correct them promptly. When punishing the Dachshund, first roar in a low voice, then use a rolled-up newspaper to hit the Dachshund. Try to avoid hitting with your hands directly.

5. When bathing Dachshunds, be careful not to let them catch cold. After bathing, use a hairdryer to dry the Dachshund completely, as damp fur can cause mite infestation.

Caring for a Dachshund is not as easy as imagined, so owners need to be more attentive!
